SP mechanics that make no sense

I don't think that necessarily makes them the captain just puts them in that formation (you can assign multiple companions to archer for example). To be a captain I think they need to be leading a party in your army.

CAPTAIN ASSIGNMENTS
Companions can now be assigned to formations from the party screen. Once a battle begins, the companion will be assigned as the formation captain, providing formation-wide perk bonuses to their troops. If the captain dies or flees during battle, the next eligible companion in the same formation will take over as the new captain.

Ah, I guess I just never see them pop up as formation captains. Well nice to know their bonuses are applied for the short time they aren't knocked out on the field.

Your horsemen should buy their own god damn horses

You could equip them - this is fair, but then their wage should be less. You are feeding them, buying their stuff and yet they empty your pockets.
